Bonjour les jeunes et bienvenue au grand prix!
Ok, so you might have to dust off those old textbooks and search for that pocket anglais-français dictionnaire you last used on the booze cruise (back in the good old days when you got 1.67 euros to the pound), but this is a superb example of using technology in a fun, creative way.
Lego Animation Road Race
It's not even the use of Lego which stood out, although it does provide a seamless link between blogs. I've no idea how many photo stills they had to take to generate this 2/3 minute video, but that's a lot of effort. What got me thinking was that every school in the UK has got the capacity to create this kind of content, and instead of bringing board games in on the last day, why not let everyone loose with a camera or a visualiser, throw in a bag of Lego or some plasticine, and see what they create?
Cameras were the most popular product ordered in the Tesco 2008 scheme, with over 10 000 going to schools across the UK, and this is a resource which is being used more and more.
You'll need some video editing software - Adobe School Collection or Textease Movies CT cover everything you'll need.
Not only does this fit in with Creative Curriculum initiatives, it's an excellent example of collaborative working and just imagine how cool it'd be for pupils to take home a video they'd made. You can't stick it up on the fridge, but you can put it on youtube, share it with family across the globe and put the best ones on the school website.
